Luncheon Voucher Mystery

I wonder if anyone can help?

I keep recieving luncheon vouchers for completing surveys, problem is no one seems to want to accept them.

On the new voucher book there is only a handful of companies now mentioned, one is M&S, and for some reason the food hall at Meadowhall Sheffield refused to take the vouchers, what's the crack?

Does anyone know where I can spend these things other than the restaurants mentioned??????

    I've never had any problems with them in Asda and Tesco. Also McDonalds take them.
  • Hi there, hope this helps...
    I also use luncheon vouchers, here's a link to their web site where you can see which companies will accept them

    Although Somerfield staff sometimes don't know what to do with these vouchers, I usually just say "Ive used it here before" and they scan them in.
    Another thing, I didnt realize M&S accepted them and anyway, I personally prefer using them in Starbucks :beer:
    Hope you have better luck next time!

    Mine are always accepted in Tesco (latest yesterday) and I've also recently used them at Burger King with no probs.
    Some people see the glass half full, others see the glass half empty - the enlightened are simply grateful to have a glass :)
  • I usually redeem them in boots or tesco and have never had any problems, I think I've used them in starbucks without any trouble as well...
  • Also, which surveys do you guys complete to receive these vouchers? I do PineCone research, but I've been told I got into it by luck :)
    Are there other online surveys that actually pay in LuncheonVouchers rather than some stupid Internet cyber money?
    Hope you can answer this

    I usually use mine in sainsburys, they were about to tell me that I should only be using one at a time :eek: when it is not the same as a MOV it is a cash equivalent. Also once an assistant scanned them but missed one out and I had to wait there until she had fished it out of the till for me.
    In the small print it does say that some places which are franchises do reserve the right to refuse to accept the vouchers.

    I have used them in Lloyds No1 and Weatherspoons towards a nice pub lunch on a Saturday!

    morrisons take them as many as you like but off food/drink if possible as they won't take them off other items unless the shopping is all mixed up with food.

    I use £12 every time I get some from pinecone and get the bogofs or specials so save even more. Sainsburys take them but make a fuss and so do resco so i just make a trip to morrisons when passing
